Completed as part of the Board of Education's Strategic Plan, the Foundation was established in 2013 by a group of very dedicated people. Much work has gone into planning and organizing the Foundation, including the development of thePeru Education Foundation By-Laws, as well as the establishment of our 501(c)(3) tax exempt status as a public charity. This means that anyone may give to our Foundation and claim the donation as a tax deduction.
